Mila Kunis Bio | |||
---|---|---|---|
Mila Kunis was born Milena Markovna Kunis on August 14, 1983 in Kiev, Ukraine, the birthplace of another familiar actress, Milla Jovovich. Her father, Mark, was a mechanical engineer, and her mother, Elvira, a physics teacher. At the time of Mila's birth, Ukraine still formed part of the Soviet Union, and political turmoil surrounded Mila throughout her childhood years. In 1990, Ukraine gained its sovereignty, and the Kunis parents moved to Los Angeles, seeking a more stable environment in which to raise their children. Relocation to the West brought with it abrupt changes, and the Kunis family was forced to shed their former professions (to this day Mark continues to work as the president of a cab company and Elvira as a drugstore manager). Mila and her brother were immediately enrolled in a local public school, where they began to learn English through immersion. Mila honed her conversational skills further through watching television; the game show "The Price is Right" proved particularly helpful to Mila, as host Bob Barker spoke slowly enough for her to consistently pick up on what he was saying. Mila's break as an actress came in 1998, when she was cast as the young Gia in the HBO film of the same name (Angelina Jolie played the adult version of the character). The broadcast was well received, and Mila made the jump from bit actor to a familiar face in the entertainment industry. That same year, she auditioned for a part on a new Fox series, Teenage Wasteland. Although she was only 14 at the time (she told the producers she was 18), Mila won the part of the character Jackie, on the show that would be renamed That '70s Show. That '70s Show went on to great success. In spite of the recognition her work had brought her, Mila continued to attend part-time classes at her local school, Fairfax Senior High School, sitting alongside students from the nearby Inglewood and South Central L.A. neighborhoods. She graduated from Fairfax in 2001, the same year that she appeared alongside Kirsten Dunst and Sisqo in the teenie hit movie Get Over It and in the video for Aerosmith's single "Jaded." | |||
